Wagamese's writing style becomes more intimate and descriptive. His sentences are shorter and simpler as if he is merely narrating the seemingly endless tragedy that he witnesses at St. Jerome. Note how Wagamese concludes his list of body ravaging diseases with "boken hearts", perhaps the worst misery inflicted upon these kids at this "school".

I saw the kids die of tuberculosis, influenza, pneumonia and broken hearts at St. Jerome's.
